Do I love her or the idea of someone as close as her?

[Anonymous]

I’ve known my girl best friend for 7 years. In that time we went through a 2 year break since we didn’t go to the same middle school, and we got in a couple fights that ended in short breaks. And yet the entire time I’ve liked her more then friends, my other friends tell me to distance myself for a bit but whenever I come back from doing that I end up liking her again. I don’t really want to like her now because I don’t want to hurt the friendship that we have.

She has told me how I’m her best friend but I’m worried that I’m going to be replaced since I’m moving 5 hours away. I’m not sure what to do but I have this feeling that as soon as I leave I’m going to get replaced by another guy who she’s friends with.

Not only that but lately I’ve been wondering if i like her or just the idea of having someone as close to me as she is, especially since she’s pretty much the only person I’m comfortable around.

Sounds like it is the idea of having a close friend that you want. You can certainly try to maintain the friendship with her and you will make new friends as well.

they say "out of sight is out of mind" distance will end it either way, so look for someone new in new location

This is nothing. 7 years and nothing happened. You're wasting your time
